You like a close shave, don't you?
-- Pussy Galore from Goldfinger

How about a little accoustic action to start the week? This is an older song, but just as fun. If this ever made to Rock Band, I would definately have to play it.

Golden Touch by Razorlight

Imagination is the voice of daring.
-- Henry Miller

Damn you Sirius XM. Now I've got this stuck in my brain. Not like there was much there to begin with.

-- Robert Townsend

We all get stuck with work that we really dont want to do. You can whine and complain about it or you can just do it.



I am a firm believer that you really should do it.

Man must evolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, aggression and retaliation. The foundation of such a method is love.
-- Martin Luther King Jr.

It's an old song and the time described is incorrect, but its still as powerful as it was back then.

Or you can be like me...

You can't turn back the clock but you can wind it up again.

Seems time has been going by, hasnt it? Nevermind the new year's bit, but rather with everything going on around us.

One of the kids, an intern, moved on to a new job when it seemed like yesterday when she started with the us. A co-worker recently mentioned that we practically grew up here. More music that I'm used to hearing has been playing on the "oldies" stations.

Even movies I watched in their first run are now called classics. It didnt even occur to me that The Fugitive came out in 1993. Its been nearly ten years since Gladiator came out.

Maybe I'm just feeling nostalgic, especially when Hulu made Ralph Bakshi's American Pop available. This movie came out in the 80s and still some of the best animation around.

Lane: Excuse me?

This is just a pretext in order to play another great Kate Isitt video, not to mention the fact I wouldnt mind accompanying her to her happy place. Bwahaha...!

Wilson: Tim, are you familiar with the I-Ching?
Tim: Sure. The itching, the scratching, the chafing. That's why I switched to boxers, my friend.
-- from Home Improvement

As you can tell, I've finally gotten around to actually changing the Castle. We all need abit of change in our lives and even the littest things can be helpful. Its either that or else become stagnant.

Next will come the memory loss...



...Sounds just like me. Heh.

Anyone can achieve their fullest potential. Who we are might be predetermined, but the paths we follow is always of our own choosing. We should never allow our fears or the expectations of other to set the frontiers of our destiny. Your destiny can't be changed, but it can be challenged. Every man is born as many men, and dies as a single one.
-- McGee from NCIS

So we gather once more my friends. To start anew. March forward and conquer. It's a brave new world.
